[ [link removed] ]Sign and send the petition to Congress, it's time for D.C. Statehood

Dear PFAW Member,

For the first time in decades, the House of Representatives is expected to
vote THIS FRIDAY on making the District of Columbia the 51st state.

[ [link removed] ]In advance of Friday’s historic vote, sign and send this message to
your members of Congress supporting D.C. Statehood! >>

Washington, D.C. is home to 700,000 people – a larger population than both
Wyoming and Vermont. Yet D.C.’s residents remain disenfranchised with no
voting representation in Congress.

D.C. also lacks crucial autonomy on many local issues. Locally-passed
policies on everything from school funding and infrastructure to LGBTQ
equality and reproductive freedom are subject to being overruled by
Congress.

It’s an egregious injustice and a pressing issue of civil rights and
racial justice. The District’s population is historically majority Black
and currently is majority Black, Latinx, and Asian.

D.C. residents bear all the responsibilities of full U.S. citizenship—they
pay taxes, serve on juries, serve in the military, and work hard to build
safe, strong communities.

And just like citizens in the 50 states, they deserve a vote.

[ [link removed] ]Please sign and send this petition demanding fair representation and
autonomy for the over 700,000 residents of the District of Columbia in
advance of this historic vote! >>

Thank you for your advocacy in support of righting this centuries-old
wrong. Wishing you and your family health and safety!

In community,

Charlie, PFAW
